| lost and found: taxonomic revision of the speckled skink (oligosoma infrapunctatum; reptilia; scincidae) species complex from new zealand reveals a potential cryptic extinction, resurrection of two species, and description of three new species. | new zealand has a diverse skink fauna, comprising 45 described native species, and at least 15 undescribed taxa, within the single genus oligosoma girard, 1857. one of the earliest described, and best known, species is the speckled skink, oligosoma infrapunctatum (boulenger 1887). despite a relatively stable taxonomic history for nearly 114 years, recent molecular work has indicated that o. infrapunctatum represents a species complex, comprising numerous genetically divergent, range restricted t ... | 2019 | 31716246 |
